The Washington Critic says: Senator
Davis al Minnesota and his handsome wife
were making calls with Mrs. Sabin. They
are boarding this winter. Mrs. Davis is q
tall, stylish brunette with brilliant coloring.
She 10 quite young, and wore q long, tight
fitting black plush wrap with white lambs
wool collar and muff, with a tall black hat
and noddine plumes. Senator Sabin's
family is back again in the same house on
Iowa Circle. Miss Murphy. who 10 such an
agreeable member OF the household, will
500 arrive from Minneapolis to spend the
winter with Mrs. Sabin. Senator Davis
looks enough like Ben Butler to be Ben
Buffers son.
MIR. Mills OF Texas. who will probably
be chairman OF the committee OF ways and
meaps, is quoted as saying: I heartily
agree with President Cleveland's tariff
ideas as put forth in his message. While l
believe that an ad valorem tariff is tho
only fair and wise measure, still I will
vote for a specific tariff IL by that means I
can get q bill passed reducing taxes. Ihope
we may be able to harmonic these con
fcting opinions, and pass a bill making
substantial reductions. L am inclined to
think some bill will pass the senate. 1t
may not be what 70 wants and we nay
quarrel some over it, and then agree on
something. There is no doubt that the
tariff will be the issue in the campaign OF
1883, and I am glad that we have the bat.
tie pitched on it. We can win the fight II
we do not get frightened and fly the field.
I would not reduce or repeal the internal
tax on tobacco.
DO you think the president now has
the right to expel an alien?" was asked
OF Senator Spooner, apropos OF Congress-.
man Adams bill, for the expulsion of an
archists. The reply was: II should not
think so.- ! know OF no law giving it to
him, except in time OF war. An alien in any
state within the United States is there by
permission and subject to the laws OF that
state. / cannot see where the president
would get the right to expel an alien whom
the state permits to remain. He ought
not to have that right. Nobody ought to
be condemned on any charge on ex parte
testimony. I should not vote for any
measure by which q foreigner might be
expelled, except the expulsion be made aft
er q regular judicial investigation, lam not
inclined to think such q law necessary.
I have no fear for the safety OF our gov
eminent. Our laws will be enforced, and
in their enforcement lies our safety"
